Numb3rs

[skybolt]

Well the reason they overbid is that the one they overbid on was the ORIGINAL copy. (Allegedly worth 2 mil.)

 

I understand why the 2 gentlemen were bidding high, but the lady had no clue!

How many real comic cons would continue for 2-3 more days after a armed robbery/gunfight/murder in the exhibitor area while the FBI is doing an investigation?

Motor City kept going after all the DVD sellers were led out in handcuffs, does that count?

Classic.

Did anyone catch the episode of Numbers Friday night with the theft of a rare comic book at a convention? it was an interesting episode that in my opinion was intelligent and did not mock fans. Wil Wheaton was the owner of a rare comic that was stolen and Christopher Lloyd was an old comic artist who seemed to be based on Jack Kirby.

 

You can watch it on cbs.com for free. Lots of little Star Trek cameos- uniforms, life size Kirk cut out figure, etc.

Well - I'll revive this thread... I actually just acquired one of the copies of Ultra World that was used in the that episode of Numb3rs. This copy comes from Mike Vosburg - the real artist who drew that Ultra World ashcan comic.

 

The copy that was given to Vosburg was signed by himself, Trevor Goring, and Jim Wheelock (who also worked on the show) on 11/1/07 and encapsulated in a real CGC case with No Grade. The question I have is why doesn't this appear in the CGC Census?

 

Given that this is CGC certified, I have to assume this is "the real" copy worth $2 mil. Anyone interested? Given the economy, I might be willing to let it go for $1.9 mil.

1.8 and you might have yourself a deal.

[comiconxion]

OK, 1.8 but that's a cash price! Please have a truck pull up full of $1 bills some time next week and we'll finish the deal.

[SolitaireOne]

Yeah, that was a good one, they've done Comic-related stories before... as already mentioned w/ CGC and one re/ O.A., if I recall. (thumbs u

 

It's one of the CSI-clones that I can tolerate.

[MightyBeanComics]

Did anyone see the episode of "Numb3rs" the other night. It had to do with the theft of a CGC graded comic book.

 

I don't know a lot else as I was half asleep and didn't hit the TIVO button.

[hesdeadjim]

This sounds familiar... Are you sure it wasn't a re-run?

[MightyBeanComics]

Perhaps. I have never actually seen the show before.

 

I think its on opposite "Punky Brewster"

[TFL-migration]

It was a re run... Ultra Comic's #1 was the name used for the comic book. The plot is about a counterfeit book being sold. All of the sudden there are a few of a book where there is supposedly only one known to exist. How the creator was robbed of his rights and down on his luck a bit. It wasn't half bad.... I'd give away the ending. But what would be the fun in that?

I have that episode on DVD... What the heck...

[PokerKid]

Rerun, but I did watch it the first time around. Hokey, but fun.

[Ares]

If Wil Weaton was the comic company owner it was a rerun
